Recently I was scrolling through brson’s Rust quote database and stumbled upon a link to the official Rust tutorial from the very beginning of 2013. It says Rust 0.6 in the corner, but it lists many things that were removed in 0.6, so it’s likely closer to 0.5. I heard tales of old Rust before, but not of how the…
Tor is upgrading its relay encryption algorithm for improved security. In upcoming releases, Arti and Tor will both support a new encryption algorithm called Counter Galois Onion (CGO). CGO prevents attackers from tampering with encrypted traffic, adds forward secrecy, and brings Tor's encryption up to modern…
After years of engineering, design, and community collaboration, we're excited to release Unison 1.0. This version delivers a refined programming workflow and a mature toolchain. Join us as we celebrate this milestone and look ahead to the future of Unison.
An indirect prompt injection in an implementation blog can manipulate Antigravity to invoke a malicious browser subagent in order to steal credentials and sensitive code from a user’s IDE.
“These models somehow just generalize dramatically worse than people. It's a very fundamental thing.”
How we achieved 20% faster mobile response times, improved SEO, and reduced infrastructure load.
It may be a good language for data science, but it’s not a great one.
After six years of relentless development, Orion for MacOS 1.0 is here. What started as a vision initiated by our founder, Vladimir Prelovac, has now come to fruition on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Today, Orion for...
Subgrid allows us to extend a grid template down through the DOM tree, so that deeply-nested elements can participate in the same grid layout. At first glance, I thought this would be a helpful convenience, but it turns out that it’s so much more. Subgrid unlocks exciting new layout possibilities, stuff we couldn’t do…
Today, we release FLUX.2, our most capable model to date.
As one of the co-creators of Crash Bandicoot, I have been (slowly) writing a long series of posts on the making of everyone’s favorite orange marsupial. You can find them all below, so enjoy.…
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to do away with my Netflix subscription. I simply was barely using it, and whenever I did it was more ou...

Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Tal Sharf's lab used organoids to make fundamental discoveries about human brain development.
The physics of sound, and the PC fan CR box v1.
We're excited to announce a major architectural improvement to Atuin Desktop: a completely redesigned runbook execution engine.
My take on Windows NT subsystems and the thin line between VMs and subsystems.
LE Audio replaces classic Bluetooth® audio profiles with a modular, low-energy architecture.
Executive Summary: Rapid advancement in artificial intelligence (AI) has become a point of national pride in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), driven in part by a cohort of accelerationist advisors who view technology as a transformative solution to the country’s economic ills. Lauding it as a “new productive…
Claude can now discover, learn, and execute tools dynamically to enable agents that take action in the real world. Here’s how.
Claude Opus 4.5 is our new flagship model, with state-of-the-art coding and agentic performance at lower pricing.

The GrapheneOS project has announced on X that they are ceasing all operations in France, asserting that the country is no longer safe for "open source projects"
From ChatGPT Plugins to Agent Skills, a look at how we've been trying (and failing) to extend LLMs for the last three years.
How a new X feature led to the most sweeping public exposure of covert foreign activity on a major platform since 2016.
The threat actor behind “Shai Hulud 2.0” launched a new malware campaign compromising the supply chain of Zapier, ENS Domains and more — exposing secrets, injecting malicious code, and enabling widespread developer-environment takeover.
Normal practice in deploying post-quantum cryptography is to deploy ECC+PQ. IETF's TLS working group is standardizing ECC+PQ. But IETF management is also non-consensually ramming a particular NSA-driven document through the IETF process, a "non-hybrid" document that adds just PQ as another TLS option.
Over 1,000 NPM packages were infected using the same method as the previous attack, infecting with a fake Bun runtime. The attacker leveraged the `preinstall` script to download and execute a malicious payload, stealing sensitive information from the compromised machines.
